Now you double up,
time to bubble up the bread and huddle up
[Am]Stickin' to the scripts, now, here,
if them Benjamins [Em]go cuddle up
Skip, hop, drip, drop
Flip flop with the white tube sock
It goes, "Sherm sticks,
burn this"
That's what the product smell
like when the chemicals mix
Fifty-nigga salute, salute, out the Compton zoo,
with the extras
El Co's, Monte Carlos,
Road Kings, and dressers

The little homies called and said,
"The enemies done cliqued up"
Oh, yeah? Puto want to squabble
with mi barrio?
Oh, yeah? Tell 'em they can
run it for the cardio
Oh, yeah? Everything is everything,

Slow motion for the ambulance,
[G]the project filled [Em]with cameras
The LAPD gamblin',
scram[G]blin', football numbers [Am]slanderin'
Niggas' names on paper,
you snitched [A]all summer
[Em]Streets don't fail me now
They tell me it's a new gang in town
[Bm]From Compt[Em]on to Congress
[Am]Set-trippin' all [Em]all around
[A]Ain't nothin' new but a flu[Em] of
new Demo-Crips and and Re-Blood-icans
Red Red state versus a blue state,

you niggas [G]boo-boo
Your [Em]homeboy,
your block that you're from, boo-boo
Lil' hoes hoes you went to school with,
boo-boo
Baby Baby mama and your new bitch,
boo-boo
[A]We We was in [Em]the hood,
fourteen with the deuce-deuce
Fourteen [G]Fourteen [Em]years later,
going hard like [G]we used to
On the dead hom[Em]ies
[G]On the dead hom[Am]ies

[Verse 8]
[Em]Everybody want to talk about
who this and who [Em]that
Who the realest and who wack,
or who white or who black
Critics want to mention that they miss when
hip-hop was was rappin'
Motherfucker, if you did,
then Killer [Em]Mike'd be platinum
Y'all priorities fucked up,
put energy [G]in wrong shit
[Em]Hennessy and Crown Vic,
[G]my memory [Em]been gone since
Don't ask about no camera
blocking at award [G]shows
[Am]No, don't ask about my bitch,
no, don't ask about [Em]my Vogues
'Less you askin' me about power,
yeah, I got a lot of it
I'm the only nigga next to Snoop
that can push [Em]the button
Had the Coast on standby
"K. [E]Dot, what up? I heard they
opened up [Em]Pandora's box"
I box 'em all in, by a landslide
Nah, homie, we too sensitive,
it spill out to the streets
I make the call and get the Coast involved,
then history [Bm]repeats
But I [Em]resolved inside that private
hall while [G]sitting down with Jay
He [Am]said, "It's funny how one verse
can fuck [Em]up the game"

[Verse 9]
I been A-1 since day one, you niggas boo-boo

[Verse 10]
I I remember you was conflicted
Misusing your influence
Sometimes I did the same
Abusing my power full of
resentment
Resentment that turned
into a deep depression
[Eb]Found myself screa[E]ming
in a hotel room
I didn't want to self-destruct
[F#]The The evils of Lucy [E]was all around me
[E]So I went running for an [D#]swers
Until I came [E]home
But that didn't stop survivors
[F#]guilt
Going back and forth
Trying to convince [E]my self
the stripes I earned
Or maybe how [D#]A-1
my foundation was
But while my loved ones
was fighting [E]a continuous war
Back in the city
I was entering a new one
